Is there a way to play video in full-screen (Landscape) mode in ExoPlayer

Question

I've gone through many answers here but no luck. below is my code :

private PlayerView playerView;
private SimpleExoPlayer player;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    playerView = findViewById(R.id.player_view);
}

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    player = ExoPlayerFactory.newSimpleInstance(this, new DefaultTrackSelector());
    playerView.setPlayer(player);
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("videoLink");
    DefaultDataSourceFactory dataSourceFactory = new DefaultDataSourceFactory(this, Util.getUserAgent(this, "ExoPlayerDemo"));
    ExtractorMediaSource mediaSource = new ExtractorMediaSource.Factory(dataSourceFactory).createMediaSource(uri);

    player.prepare(mediaSource);
    player.setPlayWhenReady(true);

}

and xml is :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<com.google.android.exoplayer2.ui.PlayerView
    android:id="@+id/player_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

I want the video to be opened always in full-screen mode..I'm not providing any button to make it full-screen. ExoPlayer is such a popular library for video streaming so I wonder why it has still not released an easy way for this so common feature. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Create an activity that opens in fullscreen and insert your player there. Here is an example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2868052/3410697 — Pedro Oliveira, Feb 28 '19 at 18:28
@PedroOliveira tried this solution but still it shows white line on top and bottom ..see https://imgur.com/a/VhAKuls — saurabh gupta, Feb 28 '19 at 18:46
Try calling `player.setResizeMode(AspectRatioFrameLayout.RESIZE_MODE_FILL);` — Pedro Oliveira, Feb 28 '19 at 18:48

Posting as an answer for visibility.

Steps for creating that effect:

Create a full screen activity as seen https://stackoverflow.com/a/2868052/3410697
Enable RESIZE_MODE_FILL by calling player.setResizeMode(AspectRatioFrameLayout.RESIZE_MODE_FILL); as seen here https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/2317
